Race Record: (4) 1-3-0

Earnings: $184,800

Breeding: Flatter – Saracina

Owner: Rialto Racing Stables and Southern Springs Stables

Trainer: Ron Moquett

Last Race: Grade 3 Southwest Stakes at Oaklawn Park, Finished 2nd

Analysis: He certainly proved his worth last time out in the Southwest, as he looked to be on his way to a romp before being caught and passed late by One Liner.  This talented colt showed solid early speed in that race, stalking Uncontested and putting him away with ease on the turn.  We’ll see how he matches up with the likes of American Anthem this weekend in the Rebel Stakes.
